senator Gettlngef, OF berkeley,
on Saturday, introduced the follow
important bill in the Senate, and
it was referred TO the Committee
on the J uciary! It is known as
Senate Bill No. 147. No doubt all
of the towns in the State willfavor
it's passage.

of West Virginia: That the county

4 The rejoinder of the kickers and

considered stale and fiat, and simp.

charges published from time to time
in crazy Jim Mason's s.West Vir
lginia Democrat" It is impudent
land presnmptious. These fellows
will have their heads chopped of,
politically, whenever they pop up.
Loyal Democrats will have no use
for these traitors in the future.
The Penitentiary Investigating
COMMITTEE have ended their labors
and returned, and are preparing
their report to submit to the Legis
lature. The evidence taken, on
its face, appears to be very DANA
ging to Superintendent Peck, and
no doubt win result in his removal
from office.
The Committee to Investigate
the Asylum for the Insane at Wes-
ton, have found things in pretty
good shape, and the investigation
will amount to nothing, except to
make useless expense to the State,
and afford a pleasure trip to the
Committee.
There is very strong talk of ex-
tending the session for thirty days.
l don't see how they can avoid it.
A very few bills have been passed
SO far this session, and if the time
is not extended, some needed legis-
lation will fail. KANAwHA.
To the Young Democracy.
Wetzel- Democrat: The shameful
wrangle at Charleston is warning
TO you that some of the men you
have followed as leaders are no lon
ger worthy of your confidence.
Personal ambition, jealousy, spite
and an insatiate greed for rule and
Office have extinguished in their
breasts whatever fire of true democ-
racy once burned there.
These mutineers must be relegat.
ed to back seats. They may not
like it, but they can sulk outside
the wigwam or desert to the enemy
and help thereby to ruin him.
You must come to the front. You
must come with your youth, your
energy. your zeal and your unset
fish devotion to democratic princi-
pies. You must take charge of our
conventions, you must choose new
leaders who will discipline our
ranks. Wranglers and malcontents
no longer must be trusted with
place or power. So long as they
stand in front they are more dang
erous to us than to the enemy.
No longer delnde yourselves with
the idea that they possess superior
knowledge or wisdom. They do not.
They have the least common sense
of any set of politicians we have
ever known.
AT present We are "namin' o. no
Names" Yet the day is coming
when we will name them. But we
will now indicate who we mean by
saying that they are the men who
continually organize bolts and raise
the devil in conventions. We have
put ap with these people long
enough. They are not democrats,
though their mouths are always
full of disgusting blather about
Thomas jefferson. Shall we drive
them over to the enemy2 Yes. The
republicn party had better meet
thousand bears robbed of their
whelps than receive dozen such
fools with their folly.
